Cardiac Catheterization

Cardiac catheterization – in which a thin flexible tube is passed through an artery or a vein to the heart and into a coronary artery to diagnose problems in heart function and blockage – is one of the most accurate diagnostic tests available.

Gagnon Cardiovascular Institute's state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization labs at Morristown Medical Center and Overlook Medical Center enable cardiac care experts to view hard-to-see blood vessels with exceptional clarity under even the most difficult conditions. Our labs are staffed by a highly trained team of cardiologists, registered nurses and technologists and are fully equipped with digital, high-resolution x-ray systems to minimize your exposure to radiation.

We perform specialized left heart catheterization, which enables doctors to measure blockage and pumping strength, and right heart catheterization (Swan-Ganz catheter), which evaluates the pressures in the right side of your heart and lungs, and your overall fluid status.
